Maybe the amount that is getting into his pool is miniscule but what this tells me is he doesn't care about contaminating his water and he probably
poolside filters a lot of other things, mercury salts, cyanides, abrin, who knows. I for one would not swim there, nor would I even visit the house.

At a minimum, to run this extraction, take the following precautions:
1. Wear rubber gloves, lab specs and a decent dust mask at all times.
2. If you’re going to size-reduce the ore, do this under water
3. When digesting the ore, use a closed container (like a demijohn for instance) and lead the off gases through a water scrubber to avoid airborne
micro droplets to be set free and contaminate you or your immediate environment
4. Don’t run the water from your aspirator straight into the family pool and secure the vac bottle so it can’t topple over easily, wherever you do
it
5. Dry the end product in a large, closed desiccator
6. Clean all used equipment with copious amounts of hot, soapy water
7. Have a think about how to safely dispose low level waste you may be left with. ‘Cementification’ is an easy and cheap option.
